Title: Dialogues of Beasts - Colette - book
Summary :
TOBY-DOG: She grabbed me by the scruff of the back, like a small, square suitcase, and cold insults fell on my innocent head: "Ill-bred. Hysterical dog. Weepy sausage. Calf-hearted toad. Obtuse seal..." You know the rest. You heard the door, the poker she threw in the wastepaper basket, and the coal scuttle that rolled open, and all... KIKI-THE-SWEET: I heard. I even heard, O Dog, what didn't reach your simple-bull understanding. Don't bother. She and I, we usually disdain to explain ourselves.
